"The King...... O king! ”

A trembling and very old shout came from not far away, making Wang Lun, who was chatting with Du Qian and Song Wan, feel like he was in Journey to the West for a moment. He looked back at the place where the voice came from in surprise, and saw a rickety old man standing not far from him with the support of two young juniors, and was being stopped outside the circle by two vigilant minions.

Under the light of the flickering fire, Wang Lun visually measured that the old man should be around eighty years old, and he knew that even if this age was in front of him, it was not common in this country with the most advanced medical level in the world. Moreover, according to his experience, the elderly of this age are also quite prestigious in the local area, and the villagers will come to these villagers to ask for ideas in person if there are any disputes between neighbors or major matters that are difficult to decide. Thinking of this, Wang Lun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the minions to retreat, and walked towards the old man quickly. Seeing this, Du Qian and Song Wan also followed.

Wang Lun stepped forward and hugged the old man, feeling that the muscles on the arm in the old man's dilapidated cotton sleeve were thin and relaxed, which reminded him of his grandfather in his previous life. ”

The old man broke away from his left arm, which was supported by the latter beside him, waved it vigorously out of thin air, and said, "King, although the old man is old, his body is not weak, what is he afraid of this bit of wind and cold!" It's that fifty catties of grain, and the old man can still carry it for half a mile now! ”

Wang Lun smiled when he heard this, and knew that the old man in front of him was an old man who was not convinced, and said with a smile: "That's that!" Old lady, this is old and strong! It's just that it's so late, I don't know if the old man came to see Xiao Ke overnight, what advice do you have? ”

The old man saw that Wang Lun spoke kindly, and his temperament was also very appetizing to himself, so he took Wang Lun's hand and said: "What can I teach, that is, people want to be at home with the king when they are old!" I don't know if the king of Lu Dao has the time to listen to my old man's chatter! ”

After Wang Lun listened, he helped the old man to a dirt place next to him, and after the old man sat down, he also sat down, and said, "Old lady, under the surname Wang, a single name is a Lun character, and you can call Xiao Ke by name!" ”

The old man's wrinkled face showed a smile, and he nodded at Wang Lun quite seriously, but he still didn't change his name, and said: "Don't hide it from the king, the old man has lived for more than eighty years, and it is the first time he has met such a benevolent and righteous person as the king!" This kind of thing of opening a warehouse and releasing grain, the old man has only heard people talk about it in the past, but he has really seen it with his own eyes, and it is only this time! Tonight, the king has replaced us with a tyrant in the village. This action, according to me, is the government, and it is not necessarily stronger than the king! ”

The old man sighed, didn't wait for Wang Lun to answer, and said to himself, "The old man has taken over the Tian Mansion from his father so far, so he has a Jiazi." I remember that it was the old yellow calendar of the third year of Qingli, and it was Fan Wenzheng Fan Xianggong sitting in the court at that time, what a good official! In the past, we suffered disasters here, and Fan Xianggong exempted us from money and food, so life was still passable at that time. But who knows that the further you go, the more difficult it will be! This is also to blame my grandsons for not being angry, and were lured by Baozheng to gamble, and the original 300 acres of land in the family were defeated to less than 40 acres now, and the whole family of more than 50 people relied on this thin field to live. But I have suffered from my great-grandsons, seeing them grow so big, but they have never eaten a full meal, I am sad and old! Every time I see these children smell a little bit of meat during the Chinese New Year, my wife and son secretly hide aside and wipe their tears! ”

Listening to the old man's emotional words, Wang Lun patted the back of his hand gently, the old man nodded heavily, and then said: "Listen to the little four who sent us grain just now, the king treats people with benevolence and generosity, and there are big fish and meat on the mountain to eat, my two great-grandsons are not willing to stay at home anymore, they just want to go up the mountain with the king!" The old man couldn't stop it, so he had to give up this old face and plead with the king for these two children, hoping that the king could take them in! ”

Wang Lun saw this, looked up at Du Qian and Song Wan, and found that behind the two of them, unconsciously, they were surrounded by villagers who had returned from receiving food, all of them with expectant expressions. Wang Lun pondered for a moment, got up from the ground, and said to the two eager descendants beside the old man: "Going up the mountain is not only about enjoying Li Si's mouth and eating meat, you must know that we all pin our heads to the waistband of our trousers, there is a way that 'once you enter the rivers and lakes, life and death are difficult to turn back', you two have thought about it clearly?" ”

"King, we've all figured it out! We are all full of strength, and we may have suffered hardship! We just want to live like the little fourth brother, and live that with raised eyebrows...... Raise your eyebrows...... Yes, yes, that's called raising eyebrows! We don't want to live a life of being bullied and not having enough to eat anymore! Take us in, my lord! We are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and we are also resistant to beating! The two juniors were not intimidated by the difficulty in Wang Lun's words, but their eyes became more and more hot. Perhaps in their hearts, they have long decided that they have nothing to lose, except for their lives.

Wang Lun nodded noncommittally, looking at these two boys whose beards had not yet grown, a sense of heaviness suddenly appeared in his heart, he sighed, and asked again: "It is the truth that you can eat enough and not be bullied." But you have to know that doing our business is a business of licking blood on the knife edge, if you are not careful, when the time comes, it will hurt your muscles and bones, and you will lose your life, don't you regret it? ”

The two juniors glanced at each other, and then nodded at Wang Lun with a firm gaze. Thinking that he has had enough of a hard life, it is like a drowning person hitting a life-saving straw, and he will not let go of whatever he says.

At this time, seeing that Wang Lun was still hesitant and still did not express his position, the old man struggled to stand up from the dirt, took Wang Lun's hand and confided: "King, I have lived for more than eighty years, and I am not a person who does not know the severity. I really persuaded these two children at home, but these two children are stubborn, alas, in fact, you can't blame the children for being stubborn! King, it's really hard for us farmers to live! When the year is bad, I am afraid of starvation, and when the year is good, I am afraid of disease. I'm old, and the thing I'm most afraid of seeing is that the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and I'm afraid that they will walk in front of me one by one. But the king, you can't stop it! We croppers, our stomachs can't be filled, and if we have another headache and brain fever, we can only hold on. If the time is not good, maybe you will leave without explaining a word, just say ...... Let's just talk about my family, I haven't experienced such white things as old and decayed......"

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes turned red, and he cried tears, "If there is that Baozheng who is rampant and domineering in the village on weekdays, there will be no less than ten lives of people who are beaten to death by him, and we really can't live anymore!" Although it is fortunate that the king has removed this evil for us tonight, I wonder what new Baozheng will emerge in the future! I'm so old, and I admit it because of this fate, but the children are still young, so I can't watch them suffer too! I know what you are worried about, so take them up the mountain...... Each man has his own creation, and he cannot complain against others. I just hope that the king will treat them well, and the old man will be satisfied! If a good person like the king is recruited to be an official in the future, the children will be able to have a background, and they will no longer have to suffer from us! The king, the old decay is here to give mercy, please have mercy on the king! ”

After Du Qian and Song Wan heard the most nonsense on the side, they couldn't help but pull Wang Lun's sleeves in the back, and the eager urging of "brother" and "brother" in their mouths, Wang Lun hurriedly supported the old man who wanted to salute, and then glanced at the two offspring with resolute faces, sighed, and said: "In this case, you two will follow Li Si in the future, and he will teach you the rules of the cottage!" ”

Before Wang Lun's words landed, he heard a burst of cheers from the crowd, and at this moment, countless eager voices exploded: "King! "I'm going up the mountain too!" "King!" "We're going up the mountain too!"
